Dominic Holland

Dominic Holland

Dominic Holland has been performing stand up comedy since 1991 and has become one of the most regarded comedians of his generation. The Sunday Times recently described him as ‘The UK’s master of observational comedy’ and the Daily Telegraph noted that ‘he is a top notch stand up who everyone should see’.

Dominic’s personal favourite quote about himself was by the late Bob Monkhouse who called him ‘Britain’s funniest not yet famous comedian.’ Dominic is still working hard on the ‘not yet’ bit!

Since becoming a professional comedian all those years ago Dominic has performed three highly acclaimed sell out one-man shows at the Edinburgh Festival, winning the Perrier Best Newcomer Award in 1993 followed by a Perrier Nomination at the 1996 Fringe.

He has been described by The Guardian as “A comedian who makes you feel glad to be alive” and has made numerous guest appearances on television shows such as Have I Got News For You, The Clive James Show, The Brian Conley Show, The Des O’Connor Show, The Stand Up Show, Edinburgh Nights, Best of Edinburgh, The Royal Variety Show and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Dominic’s material is what sets him apart, inoffensive and totally accessible to all, relying heavily on acute observations on all our lives. His material, combined with a very personable stage presence, always make his shows relaxing, intimate and hugely enjoyable.

He is hugely popular on the corporate circuit hosting award ceremonies and presenting after-dinner entertainment.
